Yeah I don't think thats evenly remotely true. Most coaches would have bounced Girardi off the first pair a long time ago. Girardi has been a great Ranger but this isn't some first ballot HOFer we need to give special treatment to.
Leetch and Beukeboom are probably the most iconic Rangers pair in the past 40 years and they got split up about 3 weeks into a season when Beukes game went of a cliff. We're approaching 3 years with Girardi.
Who is replacing him on the top pair, though? Klein has been a complete trainwreck, and Holden has been MUCH better away from McD. It's lose lose lose with this situation.
I think AV is just trying to mitigate the damage at this point. I'm not a HUGE AV fan, but I think he's done an admirable job this season with the personnel given to him.
